Far From Famous

Fairly far from famous

But my friends treat me a little different

Used to fall asleep in physics

Days I used to fold the dishes

Scottie-Ottie-Dopalicious

I moved up from pharm prescriptions

Sweated out the coke addictions

Second looks be premonitions

Strangers turning into critics

Sentimentals send them with it

Getting flyer in my city

Every time I come and visit

I'm a genie in my district

If you want it we can get it

We don't capsize

But we love to go swimming

Ever since my boy died

We've been pushing pass our limits

Calling up his killers

Like why you never come and get it

Bad behind my back

Why you talking argumentive

It's like every time we link

You looking dumber every sentence

Some think I'm little league

I'm fucking up their scrimmage games

I just feel like Lawrence Tay

Tecmo in the bowl now babe

Super NES on the stage

Follow up with the fade

New wave NBA

Fairly far from famous

But my family treat me a little different

Momma used to kick me out

Now it's come and visit

Gina still beefing

Tryna set aside some difference

Grandpa hella ecstatic

Tell me every night he listens

Drunk dials every night got me hella defensive

Apologies started feeling more like ignorance

Compliments hardly ever filled the engine

Tell the fire in my stomach started setting of the pistons

Save the day myself

I could never be no side kick

Over all this nice shtick

I used to be a nice kid

Auntie telling cousins you don't wanna be just like him

It's getting harder not to laugh at all of their own vices

Never sell my soul

It don't matter what the price is

All the way from Mississippi Colorado Texas

Long way from Onaway

Skimping out on breakfast

Now everyday is holiday

I'm hunting down my checklist

Now I'm off my dear

I'm hardly steering

This hard demeanor hard to mirror

Now a days they hardly say

I hardly hear

I hardly care

I persevere the internets

But I don't get no friend request

What is or where the passion lack

What is or where it happen at

The need to be so indirect and

Wipe the nose on sneezing kids in Cadillacs

Whose clouding up your cataracts

Born to flabbergast the abstract

The plaques just started rapping back

Telling me I'm supernova

When I die I'm Caddyshack

Fairly far from famous

But I don't feel like any different

Running from the fame I'm hitting

Sorta tired granting wishes

My pond kinda small

Kinda odd for how big I'm getting

Trying to pluck me off

They'll feel better when I'm swimming with them

Fairly far from famous

But I don't feel like any different

Running from the fame I'm hitting

Sorta tired granting wishes

My pond kinda small

Kinda odd for how big I'm getting

Trying to pluck me off

They'll feel better when I'm swimming with them

Fairly far from famous

But I don't feel like any different

Running from the fame I'm hitting

Sorta tired granting wishes

My pond kinda small

Kinda odd for how big I'm getting

Trying to pluck me off

They'll feel better when I'm swimming with them
